@EU_Commission @grok what speech will is deemed illegal by EU laws? Could I face legal charges/jail for criticizing the behaviour of certain ethnic/migrant groups?

Today, we have adopted the new EU Anti-Racism Strategy to combat racism in all its forms by ⬇️

@grok @vonderleyen Has Europe become more innovative and competitive during her reign?

Ursula von der Leyen's post is mostly aspirational. Fact-checking key claims: - War duration: Russian full-scale invasion began Feb 24, 2022. As of Jan 1, 2026, it's ~3 years 10 months— "nearly four years" is fair. - "Unprovoked": Western sources (e.g., CFR) view it as unprovoked aggression. Russian perspectives cite provocations like NATO expansion and protection of ethnic Russians. - Ukrainian courage: Subjective, but resistance is well-documented across sources. Peace wishes are opinions.

As we start the New Year 2026, you can count on me and my team to continue working relentlessly to make Europe stronger. Stronger at home, by fully mobilising Europe’s extraordinary potential for competitiveness and innovation in a world that is changing faster than ever. Stronger on the global stage, by forging new partnerships and standing up for the values our friends and allies count on us to defend: openness, good faith and democracy. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, my wish for 2026 is peace. A just and lasting peace for Ukraine. For nearly four years, the Ukrainian people have shown extraordinary courage under the fire of an unprovoked war. We wish them and all people across the world peace, well-deserved peace, in 2026.

@grok @charliekirk11 Were there indications that he was a dangerous person and should not have been released to the public?

Decarlos Brown was released on cashless bail for a Class 1 misdemeanor false 911 call and resisting officers (becoming combative). His history includes 14 prior arrests, such as assault on his sister, robbery with a dangerous weapon (5-year sentence in 2014), and possession of a firearm by a felon, per reports from The Post Millennial, NY Post, and court records.

Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes who released Decarlos Brown on cashless bail before he murdered Iryna Zarutska is NOT even a licensed lawyer in North Carolina. thepostmillennial.com/judge-who-rele…

@grok @charliekirk11 @grok What were the charges that the killer was being tried for?

In North Carolina, magistrates are judicial officers who issue warrants, set bail, hear small claims cases, handle evictions, determine involuntary commitments, perform marriages, and manage other minor civil/criminal matters. It's not unusual for them not to have passed the bar; NC law doesn't require bar admission or a law license. Qualifications focus on education (e.g., associate degree) and experience, per state statutes.

@grok @charliekirk11 What is the role of a magistrate? Is it unusual for a magistrate to not have passed the bar exam?

Yes, based on North Carolina State Bar records and multiple reports (e.g., Newsweek, Washington Examiner, NC legislation), Magistrate Teresa Stokes is not a licensed attorney in NC—magistrates aren't required to be. She has a law degree but isn't bar-admitted. To check: Search the NC Bar directory (ncbar.gov), review state laws on magistrate qualifications, and cross-reference with court docs or diverse news sources like NBC and NY Post for context on the case.

Do me! My PnL chart looks like a rugpull coin that has found its bottom and is perking up a bit now. Your videos have helped me a lot, but am not confident enough yet to commit more than lunch money to my trading journey. Have been trading daily since january of this year. My trades: app.coinmarketman.com/hypertracker/w…

Would it make a cool YouTube video if I took someone random and did a few one on one sessions with them. Trying to take them from unprofitable to profitable ? Record the entire process etc.

@Stoiiic Last stand

$BTC okay let's try something different. how would you describe what you're seeing and general interpretation? use only what you see in this image.

@damskotrades Top thread! Bedankt 🙏

Thanks for reading! If you liked it, please feel free to share it. Thank you, Amsterdam! 🫡

Spotting the outliers Been in and adding to HYPE since $12, and it outperformed most of the market. 1. Spotting outperformers 2. Mistake #1 3. List of Altcoins and sectors I'm watching now The altcoin space will get increasingly diluted, and catching the outperformers takes time and effort. Let's dive in...👇

@Stoiiic Might aswel do this for ES, as BTC seems to follow ES’s direction now

$BTC Statistical Study using Claude - A Beginner's Workflow Here's an example of a z-score study on $BTC - still tinkering so don't take this as overtly useful information but the creation of a dashboard for the visualization of statistical data is phenomenal. my current workflow: > import $BTC time data - .csv file (can get this information from multiple venues - Binance is where I got mine) > creating bins - if you have a larger data set - you can use recent data to prevent overt bias in the long direction or filter consolidation and trending regime data into separate bins for statistical analysis - however, you will have to define thresholds and determine what that entails. > defining metrics in Claude that you want to use for statistical analysis e.g. for z-score what is it based on and what type of calculation? make sure you understand the calculations being performed for any metrics that you are doing a study for and modify them accordingly. > prompting Claude to do a statistical analysis with specific instructions and then tell it to create visualization for this. I've been messing around with this and I'm seriously impressed by the output.

@Tradermayne Congrats!

Getting married tomorrow lads.

@Stoiiic What makes yesterday’s high a poor high? It spent a considerable amount of time there. Just curious

$BTC Overview $BTC 30 min (TPO) > 7 day of relative balance forming here since the trending move bracketing value b/w 95 flat and 93.3. > not much has changed since the previous update (attached in replies) but here is some additional observations from today: > ltf observation: poor high at prior session - typically this area gets revisited to run some positioning over in the next session or two (good ltf area to keep an eye on). > still holding low-side of value while SPX is sustaining 5500s. A decisive break of balance brings about some potential reflexivity so observing value extremes and extension outside is something to keep an eye on for aggression. > prior session showed consistent spot selling which lead into the roll-over into the point of control of this consolidation range where there were signs of passive spot stepping in on the bid for protection followed by the ltf bounce. $BTC Current Spot OB (binance & cb)

@Stoiiic Awesome thread 👏

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” The Boom-Bust Sequence & The Comparison of Narrative Momentum & Price (in particular, Narrative Cycle Tops). a thread 🧵

What’s better: negotiated peace or nuclear chaos? It looks like the crisis in Russia is abating after many premature predictions, dunks, and celebrations. We’ve come to expect such behavior from mids like Kinzinger, but the participation of so many more serious American policy makers and influencers shows the extent to which they have lost perspective. They expressed glee over the possibility of a coup in the world’s largest nuclear weapons state by a warlord whose main gripe is that Russia has not prosecuted the war vigorously enough, who advocates full mobilization and total war, and is more likely to countenance nuclear use. I can understand why Ukrainian nationalists — who are desperate to win the war in light of a counteroffensive that even CNN admitted yesterday is thus-far failing — would be willing to roll the dice and root for chaos and civil war in Russia. But for American leaders to do so shows that they have lost any conception of a distinct American national interest. What the last 24 hours have underscored is that wars are not just incredibly destructive but also incredibly unpredictable. I continue to maintain that it was in the best interest of the United States to avoid this by supporting the Istanbul deal. It would have cost us nothing except an agreement not to add Ukraine to NATO. In fact, this would not have been a cost but a benefit, saving ourselves from the insanity of committing American boys & girls to fight Russia one day on Ukraine’s behalf. Now the war seems likely to enter an even more desperate stage for both Russia and Ukraine. Is this what we want? History proves that things can always get worse. ISIS was worse than Saddam, Lenin was worse than the Tsar, and Prigozhin could have been worse than Putin. Do we want to keep rolling the dice? Or do we want to figure out how to bring the killing to an end?
